Sharjah Women’s Sports Club achieved a clean sweep against Lynx with a score of 3-0 in the match held on Saturday at the club’s hall.

“The match provided an opportunity to solidify the technical aspects the team has been working on during the previous phase, particularly in the quality of reception and the quick transition from defence to attack,” said Karim Ben Ayad, coach of SWSC.
He added the team showed strong tactical discipline and reduced errors ahead of the knockout stage, with upcoming preparations focusing on mental readiness and performance consistency.
Meanwhile, Khorfakkan Women’s Sports Club continued its positive run, defeating Centrex Falcon Academy 3-0 in a match held on Sunday, 29th March 2026, at the Khorfakkan Club hall. The team delivered a balanced performance that reflected its technical readiness and successfully imposed its playing style through a stable backcourt and effective serving.
